Details

The Makita 2012NB 12 in. Planer has the fastest and easiest blade system on the market, utilizing disposable double edge blades. It's a quiet tool with a 4-post design and diagonal cross supports for stability. It comes with a detachable tool box so you can store your standard equipment.

It's a very smooth operating unit, typical of Makita brand. While not having ability to resharpen blades with this planer may be a detraction to some, the high speed steel used should hold an edge longer, they are reversible, and there is no hassle with re-alignment. Consistent results expected every time after a blade changeout.

Great tool! Significantly quieter than my previous 12" planer. Produces smooth finishes with little snipe. Easy to use and set up. My only complaint is that the dust hood isn't really "optional" (unless you want to be quickly buried in chips) and should be included as the hood took some searching to find.

Makita has done a terrific job of bringing a quality product to the masses (again). My planer [...] seemed to be perfectly set-up for immediate use. Having been around other planers, I was surprised how relatively quiet this one was. I cleaned up some fir 2x4's and then some hard maple and was very pleased with the almost glass like finish on both. I even put in thin strips and it didn't mind at all. I had many planers to choose from, but after research and my own experience with this Makita planer I feel like I have the best tool I could get. Quiet, economical replacement (double-sided) blades, easy enough to lift without grunting, and Makita quality make this planer an excellent buy!

Arrived quickly intact And pretty much ready to use out of the boxOnly problem I hade is it took about 3 weeks to get a dust chute but got that in hand today. If I can I may update in the future I would recommend this for others

This planer is very nice. It's typical Makita, being well engineered, simple to operate and does incredible job. Little finish sanding needed if any, depending on project. It's also amazingly quiet. I set it on a thin piece of rubber back carpet, it stays put and just purrs. Also little or no snipe.

As others mentioned, unit arrived well packed. After double checking that all bolts/screws were tight, I put it to work. Very impressed right off! I wear ear protection and wasn't sure it was cutting at first, but flying chip said it was. Couldn't believe it was that quiet, as most planers can be heard a block away. A little heavy to move around frequently but it is a solid machine and the weight aids it's performance. If you're tired of shelling out $$$ for plastic & pot metal that makes you feel sick when you open the box, then you'll be very happy about this machine. Snipe? What snipe? Just support board lightly as outfeeds. More later!

New Vs. Reconditioned

What's the difference between New and Factory-Reconditioned?

Factory-Reconditioned products have been returned to the manufacturer and are restored to like-new operating condition; they go through a rigorous testing and inspection process. Plus, they offer a significant savings vs. new.

Reconditioned products may have minor cosmetic blemishes or scratches that do not affect item performance.

Reconditioned products may not come with all of the consumables the new version comes with (bits, sanding pads/papers, cases, etc.).

Both come with a manufacturer warranty and are covered by our Money Back Guarantee; New is 30 days, Reconditioned is 60 days.
